Savill’s banking on a sale including Cork city centre bunker-like cash vaults

The former Cork city centre cash vault stronghold for Bank of Ireland’s many Cork branches is up for grabs — but, while the site holds promise, it’s one empty of cash in any denomination.

Guiding €600,000 on launch with Sam Daunt and Isobel O’Regan of Savills, Cork, is a plot of 0.14 of an acre at Smith Street/Phoenix Street: the narrow Smith Street links the South Mall heartland to Oliver Plunkett Street, and houses a bunker-like complex previously bristling with security cameras, access controls and a hot-line to Garda HQ nearby at Anglesea Street.

Now no longer used to securely hold millions of euros in cash, the decommissioned property is being sold for Bank of Ireland.
